Colee Hammock
Colee Hammock is an historic neighborhood in downtown Fort Lauderdale,
and begins at the corner of Tarpon Drive and Las Olas Blvd,
where the Live Oak is that we are lighting.
Notice that this particular Live Oak Tree has a canopy shape
that is very similar to the logo of Colee Hammock!
